individuals intereted in historical studies in the Southeast Volusia Area
may congregate for their mutual benefit; to promote the continuing
study of the cultures of the Southeast Volusia area from ancient time
to present and to bring to the attention of the general public and
approproiate govermental agencies the continuing importance of
preserving historical sites within Southeast Volusia County. The Southeast Volusia Historical Society operates the New Smyrna Museum of History.
